What is Sleep Easy?
Sleep Easy is a YMCA fundraising initiative raising money to help change the lives of young people at risk of facing homelessness locally. Scores of brave participants will be swapping their warm beds for sleeping bags, braving plummeting temperatures and hunkering down beneath the stars for one night.
We ask people to take on this tough challenge with a mission to raise awareness of the hundreds of young people who sleep rough every year and raise vital funds to help our YMCA continue to support young people most in need.

Where does the money go?
All monies raised from the evening will go towards delivering vital support including Psychotherapy sessions, diversionary activities, employability programmes and exciting trips which many may have never experienced before. This support is integral to enable young people accessing YMCA Derbyshires services to move along their positive pathway and into education, employment and independent living.
